Making Job Search Easier by Finding the Great Companies First

Fareportal combines the best of the traditional world with the ease and convenience and technology of our new digital world. Here at Media Jobs we’re always looking for employment opportunities that are under the radar, those up and coming companies that the average job seeker wouldn’t even know to send a resume to. Today we’re taking our search into the world of travel agencies, specifically online travel agencies, or OTAs. You might be surprised to find out what a small world that is in terms of major players. Let’s see, first there’s Expedia of course. Then there’s Travelocity. No wait, Expedia owns them now. Okay, so there’s Orbitz. Except Expedia owns them too. Ah, Trivago. Owned by Expedia. Hotwire? Yep. Hotels.com? Ditto. Expedia has pretty much swallowed up almost every major OTA out there, with a few exceptions. The first exception is Priceline, because no one owns William Shatner. The second is… Fareportal. Who, you ask? Fareportal, I repeat. They are now (since Expedia bought Orbitz) the third largest OTA in the world, and you’ve probably never heard of them. Of course the first thing that would probably jump to mind is that this fact illustrates what a mega-giant Expedia has…

What if you could talk to millions of people one at a time and do it in less than 60 seconds. Sprinklr is the world’s first personalized scalable social media platform. Does anyone remember Tweetdeck? It was one of the first social media management platforms to be widely adopted by both individuals and businesses, way back long ago. Then they basically went under. In the last five years or so, social media management companies and software have boomed from a niche group to one f the driving forces in modern marketing and customer service operations. And the segment is growing more and more. But the focus has expanded exponentially. Tweetdeck essentially let you post to Twitter and Facebook (before removing the Facebook functionality and falling flat) and monitor your feeds with filters. Revolutionary once, less than the most basic requirement today. Now social media management must be holistic in its approach, because social media has gone from being a subset of the online world to the center of it. Everything revolves around it. Like the eye of a hurricane. Imagine the online world as that hurricane. Your emails, websites, social accounts, online software platforms, blogs, retailers, and so on, swirling…

How many of your friends or family have smartphones? All of them, right? How about HDTVs? Probably most of them anyway? There’s probably a good portion that have the latest Xbox or PlayStation, too not to mention various other high-tech gadgets. Now, how many of them had these things ten years ago? That number probably drops drastically. Go back 15 years and you’re probably using one hand to count. That’s how technology goes. Bleeding-edgers are few and far between, and even investors shy away for the first few months or years with the next big thing. Then someone jumps in head first, the money starts flowing in, devices become available at the big box stores for fairly reasonable prices, and the next thing you know everyopne’s walking around with a bluetooth headset in their ear. (side note: please don’t be one of those people). Now, let’s revisit the initial question for a second. How many of your friends have a Samsung Gear VR headset?…
